WORK ACCOMPLISHED
Following is a detailed statement of work for each task identified as part of the
overall NSRDC scope of work.
Page 3
documents have been distributed upon request free of charge to shipyards and
others in the marine industry; documents requiring duplication from masters
have been distributed upon request for nominal duplication and shipping charges.
To make the Publications Library information more accessible and up-to-date
for users in the shipbuilding industry, the library's index was put into an
electronic database for distribution on floppy disk. Complete bibliographic
information for all publications was entered into a database. Each distributed
disk copy included a software engine that allowed users to easily
the
database without having to purchase their own software. Title, author,
publication date, keywords, document ordering number, and a complete abstract
was entered for each document, and all fields are searchable. Copies of the
database were made available on floppy disk for computers running Windows@
and Macintosh@operating systems.
3. Audio Visual Library. UMTRI-MSD is the central repository for all
Audio Visual Material Available for Shipyard Training (AVMAST) on topics that
are pertinent in today's ship design and production market, including audiovisual
material that has been acquired through the technology-transfer task d.escribed
above. At the present time there are over 600 audiovisual modules in the library
covering all aspects of ship production, from accuracy control to zone outfitting.
The videotapes are loaned to shipyards and others in the marine industry at a
nominal charge covering handling and mailing.

Concurrent Engineering
oncurrent Engineering, or
Integrated Product and Process
Development, has become a hot
topic in U.S. manufacturing over the
past decade. As a result of interest
expressed by U.S. shipbuilders, the
NSRP fimded a project through SP-8,
the Industrial Engineering Panel:
Concurrent Engineering Application
and Implementation. l h e project's
purpose was to develop and present an
overview of concurrent eng~neeringfor
the U.S. shipbuilding industry and to
apply a concurrent engineering
approach to a real shipbuilding project
in a U.S. shipyard.
Concurrent Engineering:
is based on the notion that a design
problem should be understood from
the perspective of the intended
market before it is solved; in other
words, product and process development are customer-focused;
integrates product and process
.development through the use of
cross-functional teams;
assures that team members and their
respective organizations have equal
power and input in product and
process development.
* provides a structured approach that
facilitates the generation and
organization of ideas, the development of teams, and the creation and

Documentation
Center
Back in Business
Due to significant funding intenuptions
and delays over the past three years, the
Documentation Center has had to
reduce some of its regular activities to
focus on filling requests for documents.
Recently, however, the Documentation
Center has received funding from the
ARPA MARITECH program for the
year of December 1, 1994 through
November 30, 1995. This means the
Center will once again be producing u p
to-date catalogues of its library documents, audio-visual materials, and
regular quarterly newsletters.
and On-Line!
Catalogues for the Publications and
AVMAST libraries will soon be
developed in electroruc format for
distribution on floppy disk. Electronic
f o m t bibliographies will cost less than
paper bibliographies to update, reproduce and distribute, and will greatly
facilitate information searches by
subject and key wordl. The catalogues
will be available for both PCs running
Windowsm and Macintosh@ platforms
- watch the newsletter for release
dates.
The Documentation Center will also be
working closely with the NSnet project
to take advantage of Internet technologies. Customers will be able to search
the Center's catalogues on-line using
World Wide Web tools. Eventually, it
will be possible to download NSRP
reports directly from the Internet.
These changes are being made to make
the Documentation Center more useful
to you. If the National Shipbuilding
Research Program feels the Documentation Center is an app~ropriatevenue,
future projects could include activities
like providing indusby access to
standards databases and marketing
information. If you have any suggestions for improving tl~eCenter's
services, please provide your ideas to
both us and the Executive Control
Board of the NSRP.

Abstract This manual describes
the use of a number of computer
programs that have been
developed for evaluating the
producibility and desirability of
different ship design altematives. These general computer
programs can help to determine
the cost of construction of a ship
or portion of a ship, or for
determining which of several
design alternatives would be the
least expensive to build A

Abstract: Inherent in the ship
hull construction during
assembly of interim products is
weld shnnkage. Modern
shipbuilders, employing new
construction building techniques, are attempting to
eliminate the rework associated
with the addition of excess
material designed to compensate
for shrinkage. The objective of
this study was to determine
weld shnnkage factors for three
interim processes in hull block
construction. The process of

Title: Metrication of U.S.
Shipbuilding - The Challenges
and the Oppc~rtunities
Author: Peterson Builders, Inc.
Date: October 1993
Abstract: This report presents
major finding,^ of a study on the
issues affecting the introduction
of metric practices throughout
the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
The study dettermined how the
industry's markets, supplies,
and operations would be
affected by tile external
influences driiving not only
shipbuilding, but the entire
national industrial base toward
the metric sylstem of weights
and measures,. The 'report
identifies the forces which make
conversion to metric usage
necessaiIy or desirable, identifies
cultural and c~perational
impediments to the conversion
process, and proposes pragmatic
recornendations for dealing
with the major issues at both the
individual shipyard and industry
levels. The iridm "Applying
Metrication t 3 the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry"was produced
as part of
project; it is
available h n the AVMAST

Title: Surface Preparation and
Coating Bid Estimating Transfer
S ~ Y
Author: Insight Industries, Inc.
Date: December 1993
Abstract: The objective of this
project was to transfer the
technologies learned ftom
earlier studies that analyzed the
detailed costs associated with
surface preparation and coating
application. The transfer of the
bid estimating program was
tested at three shipyards of
dissimilar makeup. Private new
consmction and repair, and
public shipbuilding were
targeted in order to provide a
thorough test environment for
the s o h a r e . Although the
original bid estimating system
was developed at Peterson
Builders, lnc., this report shows
that other shipyards can
implement this detailed cost
collection system that supports
daily activities as well as bid
stage estimating. A demonstration verslon of the software is
provided on disk for use on a
DOS-based machine. (203 p.)

Title: Development of
Producibiity Evaluation Criteria
Author: W i Enterprise, h c .
Date: December 1993
Abstract The objective of this
project was to provide a
mutually acceptable technique
for use by the Navy and industry
in evaluating the construction
cost of competing ship &signs
and design features based on the
work content rather than on
weight. The technique is
intended for application in any
stage of design - designers in
both early and detail stages of
design can effectively assess the
producibility of design features
being considered. See NSRP
0398 for computer software
instructions for estimating
labor-hours and consmction
costs. (97 p.)

Title: Build Strategy Development
Author: Thomas Lamb
Date: February 1994
Abstract: The objective of this
project was to develop a generic
build strategy and guide for
future ship construction
programs. The report defmes a
build strategy as an agreed
design, engineering, material
management, production and
testing plan prepared before
work starts, to identify and
integrate all necessary pmcases. The use of a build
strategy approach ensures that
crucial communication between
relevant departments is
identified early enough to have
a significant influence on final
costs. Five U.S. shipyards and
three foreign shipyards participatsd in the project a "notional"
U.S. shipyard was then created
for build strategy development.
Fleet oiler and contamer ships
were used as examples. (382 p.)

Title: A Demonsbation of
Interactive Insmtion for
Training Shipyard Trade Skills
Author: Ship Analytics, Inc.
Date: September 1993
Abstract: Interactive instruction
evokes the active involvement
of the tminee in his or her own
computer-controlled, audio
visual instruction. Through a
desk top personal computer, the
instruction exchanges information with the trainee on a
personal basis; processes the
trainee's responses to generate
appropriate rewards or
remediation; and measures,
evaluates, and documents the
trainee's lcaming performance.
The interactive lesson entitled
"Fundamentals of Arc Stud
Welding," 1) demonstrates the
capabilities and benefits of
interactive instruction for
training shipyard skilled bade
tasks, 2) shows how interactive
multimedia can be used for both
tutorial and simulation instruction, 3) illustrates the ease with
which interactive courseware
can be developed by shipyards,
and 4) provides an interactive
lesson for instructing the
fundamentals of arc stud

Date: June 1993
Abstract: This project successfully developed, through testing,
a recommended certification
procedure for weld-thru primers.
While the testing performed
doesn't determine a totally
satisfactory weld-thru primer, it
does identify three promising
coatings. U s e l l data was
collected fiom the fourteen

Title: Hazardous Waste
Minimization Guide for
Shipyards
Author: National Steel and
Shipbuilding Company
Date: January 1994
Abstract: This project developed
a guide and procedures for
reducing the quantity and
toxicity of the hazardous waste
produced by shpbuilduig and
repair-related production
activities. The basic categories
used in each chapter to define
the techniques of waste
minimi7ation are: improved
operation managemenf material
substitution, process substitution, recycling, and treatment.
The guide is organized by the
various types of manufacturing
and operations (i.e., painting
and coating, blasting, etc.), and
identifies the types of wate or
materials affected. All chapters
have been organized to give an
introduction to the manufacturing processes, so that the guide
can be easily used by both
trained and first-time users.

The NSRP program is intended to benefit the U.S. Shpbulldmp
industry. Participation by shipbuilders and their represcnlatives on
every level of panel activity helps assure that mission is fulfilled
The next regular panel meeting will be held April 20-21, 1995, at
the Ramada Hotel - Tysons Comer, Falls Chwch, VA.
Project N4-93-1, U.S. Shipbuilding International Market Study, being performed by A&P A.ppledore International, will identify high-demand commercial market sectors,
market requirements for these sectors in t m s of price, schedule,
and product performance, and then based on this data, recommend a
general strategy for U.S. shipyards to reenter commercial markets.
The technical approach involves a fleet profile analysis, worldwide
shipbuilding capacity analysis, competition and iltilization analysis
by sector, demand analysis, and identification of opportunities for
U.S. shipyards. One interesting task will involve evaluating the
profitability of different ship types based upon market price per
compensated gross ton (CGT) - or in other wor~S,dollars earned
versus level of effort expended to build. This project started in
November 1994 and is expected to be complete MayJune 1995.
Project N4-93-6, Develop a Common Sense Design Manualfor
Producibility ofHull Foundations, is being performed by
VIBTECH lnc. A basic problem in current foundation design
practice is the established roles of the draftsman and designer.
Typically, the draftsman develops a new foiundati~ondesign based
upon a similar design on previous ships; after which, the engineer
validates and approves the design. Because the fmal drawing has
been done and budget expended, the engineer typically makes few,
if any changes, particularly for producibility reasons. This project
will evaluate the necessary reswcturing of this drafting and
engineering approach, as well as establish effective approaches to
improving foundation producibility. Specific foundation
producibility1standard'~~ation
principles and exam.ples will be
provided for typical design situations. Approaches to improving
producibility will include simplifjling foundation designs by
reducing the number of parts, bolt chocks, brackelts and backup
requirements, and considering manufacturing me'thods. This
~ a ~ h will
c ebe incorporated into a user-friendly "design manual"
for draftsmen and engineers. This project should be completed by
the end of this year.
Project N4-94-1, Evaluate Shipbuilding CAD/CAM Systems, being
performed by National Steel & Shipbuilding Company, will carry
out a systematic review and analysis of three or rnore state-of-thearr shipbuilding CADICAM systems, report on their characteristics,
estabLsh the requirements of key characteristics which positively
unpact U.S. shipyard productivity, and prepare s!ystems specificalions from which these characteristics could be implemented in
exlsting or future systems in use in U.S. yards. In carrying out this
efli~rt.NASSCO will involve the Marine Systems Division of the
limvcrsity of Michigan Transportation Research [nstitute (Mr. Dick
Moore and division staff, supported by Mr. Thomas Lamb), Proteus
~ n p m e t ~ i n(Mr.
g Jonathan Ross and staff), CYBO Robots, and up
t r ~Cow additional U.S. shipyards that will participate in the analysis
of (:ADICAM system capabilities and requirements deftnition. The
approach is to evaluate shipbuilders' use of CADICAMICIM
systems, rather than vendor specifications of specific CADICAM
sofiware. The project will be conducted in t h e e distinct phases: 1)
mltial methodology and requirements identification, and shipyard
evaluations; 2) fiilization of U.S, shipbuilding C:AD/CAM/ClM
requirements; and 3) development of necessary specifications. It is
expected that the project will be completed 18-24 months from the
start date.

Peterson Builders, Inc. of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin proposes an 18-month
project to develop an environmentally sensitive, cost effective ferry that
is particularly well suited to urban services and can compete in all sectors
of the feny market worldwide. The 30-meter City Slicker fast feny, of all
aluminum construction, is conceived to be flexible enough to operate on a
variety of routes, with alternative layouts to accommodate 100 to 135
passengers. It is a development of the successful FBM-designed
'Thames" class riverbus. Speeds of up to 30 knots may be obtained from
twin marine diesel engines. Peterson Builders, Inc, propose to establish a
process-oriented assembly line for the construction of this class of fast

The Reefer 2 1 will be a state-of-the-art design for a self-sustaining reefer
ship with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic feet. The design will
accommodate all kinds of temperature-sensitive cargoes - fully frozen,
chilled, and cooled. The ship will be self sustaining and will handle cargo
in canons, on pallets, or in containers of up to 40 feet. The unique feature
of the rcfngeration system is that it controls the mix of oxygen and
carbon dioxide in each of the six cargo compartments, using a computerl u d system that continuously monitors humidity and air mixture. The

NSnet:
The Communications
Tool of the Future
reated in 1993 as part of
ARPA's MARITECH
program, NSnet is envisioned to be
the catalyst for moving the U.S. maritime
community towards electronic communications and electronic commerce. Electronic
commerce is a broad term describing
business activities which are conducted
electronically, and that are already widely
used in manufacturing industries such as
aerospace and automotive. Activities that in
years past had to be perfomed by hand, in
person, or by mail can now be taken care of
remotely, automatically, and electronically.
You may already be familiar with some of
the tools of electronic commerce: direct
deposif electronic funds transfers, ATMs,
faxes, and modems. NSnet will be a key tool
for the maritime industry to use when
entering the international commercial - and
electronic - marketplace.
The Paperless
Office
h a p i n e an American shipyard marketing
manager dunnp a typical "day at the office"
in the future: Laptop computer in hand, he
arrives at a Greek ownerloperator's private
yacht just in time for an afternoon tour along
the Aegean, Instead of carrying around stacks
of design plans and schematics, he hooks up
his laptop to the shpyard's design database
via NSnet and the Internet. If the customer
wants any changes in the design, the
engineers back at the yard can make the
modifications on-lme. Meanwhile, the
proposed changes can be sent off to
classification societies, to ensure the
modifications conform to code, and to
suppliers, so they can check their inventories
tbr the necessw parts. Once the proposed
changes are approved by all parties, an online call is made to financiers, credit is
~entativelyapproved, and a deal is made quickly, electronically, and via NSnet.
While this vislon is several years away,
NSnet has made great progress since the
project frst began. Visits to shipyards and
demonstrations at maritime events have
helped the industry become more familiar
with electronic communications and exposed
people to the potential uses of electronic
commerce. Community members are
realizing that unproving industry-wide
Page 8
NSnet is
Industry-Driven
The stage is now set for Wer development
of NSnet to better serve the maritime
community and to demonstrate conclusively
the value of electronic commerce in
improving U.S. competitiveness. The
maritime industry guides and directs NSnet's
development to ensure its usefulness. If you
are interested in providing input to the
growth of NSnet, please contact Andrew

TITLE: NIDDESC STEP Application Protocol
- Ship Structure
AUTHOR: The NIDDESC Working Group
ABSTRACT: This International Standard
specifies the structures for the exchange of
three-dimensional product definition data and
its configuration status for Naval ship structural
systems. It has been subdivided onto eight
units of functionality 1) ship geometry. 2) hull
product structure, 3) structural plate parts. 4)
structural stiffener parts, 5) structural openings,
6) structural connectionsljoints, 7) internal
subdivisions, and 8) standard parts, and has
been developed to support the shipbuilding
activities and applications associated with the
early stages of design and manufacturing.

"International Commercial
Competitiveness in the Year 2000 and
Fleet Support & Maintenance"
Dear Attendee:
You are cordially invited to participate in the SNAMELWSRP Ship
Production Symposium, on February 14-16, 1996 and the NSRP CAD/
CAMICIM Workshop on February 12-13,1996 at the Hyatt Regency, La
Jolla in beauh$l Sun Diego, California.
This Symposium is the only annual event in the United States to
present shipbuilding technologies through technical presentations and
exhibits rangingfrom computer-aided design and robotics, to predictive
maintenance, marine coatings, and training. The theme of the Symposium
is "International Commercial Com~etitivenessin the Year 2000, Fleet
Support and Maintenance." It will provide a forum for you to interact with
expert au~hors,shipbuilders, designers, owners, and marine specialists.
The Symposium will showcase and discuss technical subjects of common
interest to the ship production and support communities. You will have
plenty of opportunities to meet and share ideas with these industty leaders.
The Ship Production Symposium's technical program focuses on indepth presentations on a broad variety of topics and is designed for
shipbuilders and experts from North America, Europe, and the Far East,
Subjects are arranged by tracks, with information geared toward these
specific audiences:
Senior Management, including shipyard leaders and regulatory
oolicv makers.
Technical Management, including line management and decision
makers in the ship design and construction business.
Ship Conversion and Maintenance, including the ship repair
community.
The CAD/CAM/CIM Workshop will identify the key features of
systems currently operating at world-class shipyards and will discuss
critical planning and implementation issues which most significantly
contribute to the success of those companies.
Total attendance is expected to be between 400 and 600professionals.
For those attendees arriving early, there is a get-acquainted reception
scheduledfor Tuesday, February 13,from 6:30p.m. to 8:30p.m. in the
exhibit hall.

has recently completed
one project and has
four other projects in
work. NSRP Report
0443 titled "US.Shipbuilding - ~nternational Market Study" was performed by
A&P Appledore International and issued in
June 1995. In the study, a shipbuilding
demand forecast was developed for the ten
year period from 1996 through 2005 from a
detailed review of 58 separate categories of
ship size and type. World shipbuilding
capacity analysls and other factors impacting the supply)demand balance such as
product life cycle, legislative pressures,
fleet nationality, and domestic ordering
preferences were considered in identifying
particular market factors with potential for
penetration by U.S. shipyards. Much of this
study and another SP-4 study published
earlier this year, NSRP Report 0434 titled
"Requirements and Assessments for Global
Shipbuilding Competitiveness." was the
basis for a i I A R 4 D Conference on
"Shlpbuildlng Competitiveness'' held in
M'ashlngton D.C. in July 1995. Anyone
interested in obtalnlng a copy of these
reports may contact the NSRP Publications
Coordinator at ( 3 13)763-2465.

types and sizes for Navy marine applications.
An evaluation ofautomatic tubeipipe welding
equlpment was performed and a suitable
automatic tubelpipe weldingsystem was
selected. The major problem throughout the
project was determtned to be alignment. It was
